Flooring for the Quebec climate

Cold winters push indoor humidity into the low twenties and humid summers bring it back above 55 percent, a swing large enough to move solid hardwood noticeably. In plexes and older buildings with limited insulation, humidity can vary significantly from room to room within one unit.

What to know before you get quotes in Quebec

Quebec requires contractors to hold a Régie du bâtiment du Québec licence for most construction work. Ask for the number and verify it before signing.
Buildings under divided co-ownership have a declaration that usually sets minimum acoustic requirements for floor coverings.
In plexes, adding an acoustic underlay during a flooring replacement is the cheapest opportunity you will get to reduce noise between units.
